Hailing an aerial Uber would be a breeze from this 52nd-floor Miami penthouse 2,500-square-foot terrace.

The sky-scraping Paramount Miami Worldcenter condo tower in downtown Miami is one of the first to boast a rooftop “skyport” deck designed to accommodate future flying taxis. But a stunning 4,000-square-foot penthouse on the Paramount’s 52nd floor goes one better: It comes with its own massively-sized terrace big enough to land a flying Uber right outside the front door.
“When flying taxis become a reality, this remarkable penthouse has the perfect private deck for landings,” Ivan Ramirez, listing broker with RS Team ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
Before then, the home’s 2,500-square-foot terrace—the biggest in the Paramount—makes the perfect venue for Miami-style entertaining, with its jaw-dropping views across the downtown skyline all the way over to South Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, and even west for stunning sunsets.
A private elevator from Penthouse 5201’s three underground parking spaces whisks you up to the 52nd floor and the home’s front entrance. Inside, the residence was fully-furnished by acclaimed Miami-based interior designer Adriana Hoyos, and is being sold with all furniture and art included. “We’re finding buyers interested in this kind of luxury property prefer a home that’s move-in ready. They don’t want the headache of dealing with furniture companies and long delays,” says Ramirez.
The 4,083-square-feet of space includes four bedrooms, five bathrooms plus a den. The open-plan design makes for spacious living areas and a large eat-in kitchen. But what really sets the home apart is its acres of towering, floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the condo with light.
Outside, in addition to that flying-taxi-ready deck, there’s a sizable covered al fresco dining area and endless wrap-around terraces for taking in the views.
Records show the current owner bought the property pre-construction for $3.8 million, taking possession in August 2020. According to Ramirez, the current asking price of $5.2 million reflects, in part, the super-heated market for luxury condos in Miami right now.
